    Wolverine is a bit too violent and animal-like for my taste. No, don't really like him.

    When he's written correctly, he's awesome. When he's written the way he normally is lately, not so much.

    It's not the character that I've lost interest in -- it's the writers. Bendis writes a good Wolverine (the scene on the plane in New Avengers when Wolvie breaks down why each one of them is a Skrull was good stuff), as did Whedon in Astonishing. Loeb did not, and I'm on the fence about Brubaker, as I love his writing, but Logan hasn't done much more than fight lately in Uncanny.

    I agree with all of that.

    And why did no one else like the plane issue of New Avengers? I thought it was good.

    Hey, I LOVE Wolverine. Comic, movie, I don't really care. Can't wait for the Origins movie, I may have to wear my costume to that one XD. The big thing about him is that he IS an animal. Seriously, what is NOT cool about adamantium claws and that type of personality? (Unless you are the target of both)

    Wolverine is who got me into Marvel comics in the first place, he was my favorite character until I discovered my Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. I'll always have a soft spot for Wolvie.

    Once upon a time, Wolverine had "The Man With No Name" kind of cool. Claremont defined him as "The Samuri who exceeds everyone's expectations but his own..." as Logan tried to be a better man.

    Then Marvel raped him, repeatedly, to sell comics. Now he is overplayed and played out. No mystery, nothing appealing, and freakin' everywhere in ways that make no sense at all.

    Despite how ridiculous he is most of the time (lately, with the "being at lots of places at once" thing), I still think Logan rocks.

    I think that Raphael of TMNT was modeled personality wise after Wolverine. He's the impatient hothead that does things his own way much like Wolverine, and doesn't act well when he doesn't get his way.

    I think Wolverine is cool. He has his own unique look, and theme. Also though he doesn't intend to be funny he still is.

    I remember in one 90s XMen episode where he was talking to Morph and said. "So you made me mad big deal happens all the time. You should see me in line at the post office."

    He is cool and even If sometimes bugs me, the true is that you like him or not he is a veteran in character and in comics..

    X-factor, Xmen, Weapon X, Avengers and most Marvel comics! He is been there! He is one of Marvel's cash cows and the arts are awesome as well. So I guess (Even If I love when Magneto is ripping off his skeleton)  I gotta say he is one of my favorites as well.

    But just for fun, lets see that again =]

    I use to love Wolverine. I still like him in comics, and I use to like him in cartoons. But I am not in love with current incarnation of the cartoon and movies. I liked X-men and X2 when I first saw them, but now that I think back they were mostly just wolverine centric and that kind of bugged me. I love the original wolverine and reading him in the comics. However, I do not like the new taller version and leader version as much. Do not get me wrong I like Hugh Jackman, and I think his wolverine is good, but just he is too tall. I just think a lot of the other X-men are given justice in their portrayals. 


    What I love about Wolverine is his badass attitude, and how he never gives up even when the odds are against him. I love watching him when he is portrayed as the lone-wolf or underdog.

    In all honesty, it's the body count on his head that attracts me to his character. Right now he may be a bit overused, but from twenty plus years ago, he was the perfect example of anti-hero. I enjoy violence, blood, and warfare, and Wolverine constitutes those qualities pretty well.

    Logan has done some bad things in the past. Some out of his control like  when he was with Team X and when he was a pawn of Thorton.  
     
    there are a lot I could mention, but he has a sense of honor and has achieved redemption many times over with the X-men. For that I like him. 
      
    At least he quit smoking.

    I usually like him on the X-men, even through the various phases he's gone through. The Wolverine monthly is a little much. I think the series should be shorter and have more specific plot lines. I've seen a few of them that barely have words in them. He's always been pretty bad ass but the over exposure discredits his character. I liked him more when the details about his life were sketchy and he was on the search for the truth, only to find bits and pieces of it. The mystery of him was the most appealing part.

    he is the most overexposed character on earth, in ANY form of entertainment, and i think that they should limit his appearances for awhile

    Despite all of the complaints of overexposure which I'm sick of hearing (it's not the character's fault he's so awesome!), and despite the fact that Wolverine rightfully should not be in The Avengers or more than one team of the X-Men, he's one of the greatest comic book characters ever conceived in my opinion.
     
    So many comic snobs I know hate on Wolverine and his numerous appearances, but almost all of them agree that Origin is one of the best graphic novels/stories ever. Well that's Wolverine, bitches!!! He might've been handled poorly by some, but if you look at the original appearances of Wolverine, especially when Byrne was writing him, he was epic!!
     
    He was one of the first costumed characters aside from The Punisher that killed, that used lethal force and didn't seem like he was on such a moral high ground. I think a lot of his original appeal came from him being the guy that would do the dirty work, who could kill with a clean conscience when nobody else could. 
    People can hate on him as much as they like, he was one of the original anti-hero badasses in comic books and still is.
